\ novel entertainment is that to be
evening of next week by a troupe of
trained st. Bernard dogs. They seem to
be able to do almost everything of which
dogs are capable and II good many that
are considered beyond the capacities of
these animals. The press of the country
is lavish in its praise of the show, the
following from the Boston Herald being
fair sample of what is said "They show
remarkable intelligence and perform
wonderful feats. The collection is the
finest of its kind in the world, and they
hbition is novel. Their performance
creates wonder and admiration no less
than amusement

ploy of the Green Mountain Pulp Co..

caused by the rains of last week. sought
to clear the falls of the Jam of logs which
formed there in the first drive 1t was
a tough Job, but was finally accomplished
by the aid of explosives. After these
had been used one of the men. Herbert
King, who came from Bellows Fall to as.
sist in the work. went out upon the log,
to start them. They moved off with al
unexpected rush and he was thrown into
the water. Hundreds of logs passed ovei
him and he was out of sight for a long
time as it seemed to the spectators. Fl
nally he appeared 10 or 50 rods down tn,
stream and was tished out. He was bad
ly iammed up. but is able to be arounc
again.
